What Type Of Players Grind Your Gears The Most In Multiplayer?

Just curious what type of annoying players do you deal with the most when playing Battlefront 2?

For me, out of the players that camp and never contribute to the team, the plays that sit in queue all day for 1 vehicle to become available, the player that gets a hero or vehicle and then barely uses it all match and then hides the majority of the time, or the player that stands next to the player getting the most points, but doesn't do anything but draw attention because he thinks "if i stand next to the MVP then the points will rub off on to me because that's how points work". I have to say the most annoying goes to the players that walking into your line of fire. They see you shoot but don't care and walk in front and block your ability to shoot. I hate team killing friendly fire but I almost want DICE to turn it on because even if you get kicked for too many TKs I'm okay with it if it means making players realize you are walking into other teammates sentry gun fire so get out of the way. I would just like to inflict damage to them to tell them "you are being rude, get out of my line of fire. find your own place to shoot". I would be okay with TKing only 1 or 3 before getting kicked. I am really considering that because there are moments where i am holding back the enemy and our team is doing great, and then a scrub walks in and ruins it.

GA = "I am totally contributing to this match by trying to snipe with my mediumrange blaster that one random guy up there in the hills nowhere near any objectives whatsoever. I'm helping from a distance; I might get killed if I play objectives personally. Better stay back here in safety and totally help my team by taking away 25 hp per shot when only 1 out of 10 blasts will hit my target! Contributing! Yeah guys!"

HvV = "Phasma's droid will give our team practically invincibility if it's cleverly placed and we all stand in it....? Naah. I'm better off playing sneakystealthy, the others can totally distract them while I will play the key role and sneak up on them and totally kill them all..... x 3

and

"I have a Lightsaber. I am literally unkillable. I will now 1v4 you guys. HAAAAAA R2R2R2R2R2R2R2 *Dead*

and

"Alright. I am now the VIP target on my team. Better completely disregard where everyone else is just so I can swing my glow stick at something."

To give a few examples of people too stupid to be permitted continued breath.

The 'teammates' walking into my LoF is a top one but for me, it is quickly becoming the ***** that follow the exploits, such as the mass amounts of players that are ALL playing the heavy class and sporting the massively overpowered DC-15LE with exploding shot ...WOW!?

Last night on the Death Star II map my entire team was literally full of Heavy spam with a spattering of Officer.

The problem is, we lost, why? Because the meta has become playing the OP spam and not pushing forward to the objective.

Other things that grind are the ships that strafe spawn in points, and heroes like Palpatine sitting on spawn points, again though this is an exploit I suppose.

Stepping in front of my lane of fire I can deal with. It's more frustrating when I line up the perfect throwing lane for my grenade, carefully aim, commit to the throw, and BAM, bro just jumps right in front of my throw. Now I have a nade, which can kill me, flying right back into my face. Awesome. Also, I run Officer most of the time and I can't tell you how many times I've blinded/damaged myself due to this. Glorious.

I try to be aware of other's firing lanes so more often than not I will jump in the "back row" when engaging so I'm not jumping in LoF. I main officer so missing out on a couple of pistol shots is nbd. I sometimes get a little "jumpy" though (moving back and forth too quickly to avoid fire), so when I toss my flashbangs they hit a column/doorway/ceiling?!?! and come right back at me. Yes, I'm one of those guys I will avoid setting it off if teammates are around but I'm pretty good at timing them so I know when to turn away (helps with incoming now too). Other than myself, the only players I'm not fond of are those that don't PTFO. Hate the squad shields though, much rather everyone run with a turret.

Line of fire guy is the worst. The do that hoping to get in on some of your kills, especially if you are using a heavy weapon.

Ya i don't like friendly fire enabled when i play games like Halo or Battlefield and it never was an issue in battlefront 1 but now I'm on the verge of wishing Battlefront 2 that DICE would turn it on so these players learn to stop just mindlessly wondering around where people are shooting or throwing grenades. I am about to through an impact, my lane is clear, and then right as my character is in the process of thrown, some jetpacker flies in right in from of me like "Really?!". I'd be okay with TK kick after 3 TKs and so if i accidentally kill someone, I'd be cool with the hate mail. They be all like "wtf why did you kill me" my response "how about you look at your surroundings before you just mindlessly run into someone's lane of fire."

People who jump directly in front of you when you're throwing a grenade, so it bounces back and lands at your feet.
Yoda/Finn players who don't use their team buff at all.
Reys who don't use their Insight.
Anyone who doesn't play the objective.
People who won't shoot AT-STs because they think it's somebody else's job.
Teammates on HvV who are neither defending me as the target, nor are they attacking the enemy target (you know when it's happening because the entire enemy team is on your a rs e beating you up, and you are going "guys... guys, where are you?")

I agree with everything except the shooting ATST part. I roll with Officer. If you think I'm going 1v1 vs an ATST with a pistol then you have unreasonable expectations. Sorry.

That said. If some dude driving an ATST is wrecking my team then I'll consider switching to heavy and making them pay. But that is my choice to abandon my preferred class to focus on a vehicle. It is not an obligation.

You have no idea how many people actually, legitimately, try to justify this. Not just Palpy's exploit that got patched to zap people through walls but exploits in general. "well if it is in the game the devs must of clearly intended it." Because devs can for see everything. They wouldn't get beta testers in if they could foresee everything in the game. But ya I even commented on this as saying it is not legit as he did 2 things. almost half his team was in a group so he told them not to advance up so he could get more kill and to only advance when close that way he could get more exploit kill time and then and then also killing people through walls and thinks going around saying "world record" is something to be proud about.

I totally got back at a player abusing the exploit as a funny revenge prank. Even i dislike stream sniping and have not done it before or afterwards, i just thought it was funny but turns out he recorded the whole thing so i turned 2-3 hour gameplay into a funny 15 min hilarity where he openly admits to spawn killing and using palpy's exploit and then I get him back with stream sniping as a joke. but some of his fans found out and got super salty in spammed my video with fake accounts and started disliking the video and posting extremely inappropriate content. just because they thought "well if everyone can abuse it, it's not an exploit" *smh* even though its 1 sided and no way to counter him because you can't shoot him back through the walls and there are several layers of enemies that will stop you from getting to him. The twitch streamer at first was not cool with me using his steam but didn't care which at least he was cool but unfortunately out of all his fans, there are always those radical overzealous fans that will go to no limit "how dare you talk about own believed god" "you use rolling, that's an exploit in my books" e-girls "don't talk about about my future baby daddy". Ya that was just the lighter side of some of the things posted. All because I caught their twitch streamer using a beyond broken exploit to ruin the experience for others and i got back equally and then made a funny video about it with memes and jokes. ya, i am more annoyed by the overzealous fanboys and e-girls.

so ya i made a few videos on exploits and bugs and glitches etc in the game. currently almost everything got fixed besides leia cross map killing and finns targeting locator still active when time runs out and now the DC-15LE explosive shot, which omg that thing is like the AA12 from battlefield 3 "I am a god, I can control day and night"

I hope you all realize, you are the same person you are complaining about. Since you don't have eyes in the backs of your heads. You can't always see when you're unintentionally in front of someone. Accidents happen. And on that note, if they turned on friendly fire, you could get used to me accidentally blowing your head off, because sometimes I forget which team I'm on~! <_<;;

When you play in 3rd person you can. And to comment on the last part, well of you do that then you get kicked lol

Do you know how many times I've been accidentally shot in the face, by another team mate, simply for coming around a corner? Hypothetically, being booted for accidentally blowing off a team mate's head would mean a lot of empty lobbies.
(Although, I'd be in favor of it, if only you might realize how many times you've accidentally stepped in front of someone who was in the middle of firing in that direction, heh heh.)

And I do play in third person. The camera occasionally gets way too close to the back of my character. (Like going up a staircase in a building in Mos Eisley, or turning in hallways, etc.) Looking in a direction and seeing 2-3 feet of space behind you aren't the same things. The space behind you is a much smaller field of vision.

3 strikes your out, hold fire. and if FF was on, you would know to get out of the way when you start taking damage, that is an indicator.

No. Some of us have this thing called situational awareness. It comes with being intelligent. Seeing a line of fire going by a hallway or next to you usually indicates a teammate is dealing with a th0t.

Hypothetically, three strikes sounds reasonable. Unless a troll is deliberately diving into your field of fire to get you booted.

Plus Latency though? All weapons would probably receive nerfs where friendly fire is concerned, but if you have the slightest bit of lag... you're probably not going to be able to out roll two or three shots of one hit kill weapons; aware or not.

Rude. Regardless of your situational awareness accidents still happen. Sometimes it's just bad luck.
You are not omnipotent and you don't know every move a person is going to make, nor can you see through objects that obstruct a line of sight form incoming friendly fire. For example, buildings with doors, that have people inside them, currently engaged in a fire fight, that you may be unaware of, due to frantically trying to find shelter in order to not die, or whatever. Stepping into a building, and suddenly becoming the stopping force between a team mate's rocket or grenade doesn't make you any less intelligent. In Jetpack Cargo, with all the tight halls and ability to drop in from the sky at any given moment, you can bet that someone at some point has accidentally landed square in front of a team mate who was about to rocket some enemy. That doesn't make the players obtuse. ...It's just bad timing. Which, believe it or not, does exist.

Can't stand people who don't play the objective or if they do they all run to the same one like sheep, i don't how many times i went to 1 to hold it to realise everyone is at the other one, and if i could blast a team mate it would be the person who places a shield over you when your firing.

I can handle most everything as I have probably done things that have rattled teammates, we all have...BUT officers who put shields up in the dumbest of places. Sorry pal, I'm shooting it to pieces if you're blocking an entire hallway and everyone else's line of fire.

If they're using the exploding shot DC-15LE mod, stand right in front of them, they will die from the splash damage eventually.
Or, can we add a choke slam move to the game, that only works on these ***** team mates? So when they stand in front of you, just as you've lined up the killing blow on Leia on Crait and they take the kill, you can choke slam them and repeatedly stomp on their head until they disconnect from the game, as they can't move with your foot in their throat.
Or some kind of glory kill like in Doom(2016)? I'd love to rip their arm off and beat them to death with the wet end, in game of course...

ya i do that too, I destroy them when ever placed in from of me. If I wanted a shield to protect me, I would run to it. it was a terrible milestone challenge whoever though of that for Leia. They should of made it X amount of damage absorbed with Leia's shield, not "place it over players while they are firing"

So, ironically, as soon as as I got in to a blast game last night, I (unintentionally, I swear) jumped in to someone's LoF. No joke, like 15 seconds after I started my first match. I legit felt bad and made sure not to do it the rest of the night. At least I was more aware of my surroundings after that, thanks to this thread, lol.

I can't count the number of times I've seen a firing squad configuration within 20 ft of an objective area while it gets taken (Jakku and Crait are pretty bad for this).

Might as well be handing out tickets.

Yup.. 100% this.

I also hate hackers. If you have any lag (lag means internet, no computer. computer is fps drop), it's hard to distinguish a good player from a hacker because they look the same.

On that note, I hate players that jump around and never die. they're good, they know it, and show off. ***** me off because i have lag and can't hit them.

Did someone beat you in the game fairly and you're upset? Was it not bugged or due to lag or a hack and it made you cry? Then please fill out this form and follow it's instructions for sending to the appropriate people.

well I myself have just encountered several matches where you had the ***** that walks right in front of you when you are firing. Add that to the list.

Honestly, the people who think they know exactly how to code a game as big and complex as this, and constantly have a go at the devs because 'they're not making any content' etc. Obviously this is more on the forums rather than in game, but still, it's annoying. You don't have all the inside info from EA DICE .You don't know how far they've got with the new content, what other code they have to work on, etc.

In-game? Officers who never buff other people with BC, people who walk in front of my grenades (not always their fault, but annoying nonetheless), umm... people who don't play the objective, especially heroes who don't.

Yesterday I got ***** ***** 2 times w/ the same guy in almost same situations.

1 - I was trying to shoot the AT-AT w/ my SCS and he just appear in front of me while playin' crait.

2 - We were at the objective zone, I was trying to kill Palpatine w/ SCS and he used that Officer fckn shield putting me inside. Palpatine run with almost no life, came back 2 secs later and killed both of us.

when it's the same player killing you every time. Especially when you just respawned.

Teammates who are incompetent and act like they dont have a brain to do the right thing. The teammates who would continuously go towards a blockaded entrance way trying to fight an unwinnable fight, instead of finding another way. Like seriously, why?

I hate officers who use there shields in the most pointless of places. like throwing it over an entire team who are in the middle of engaging with the enemy. I also hate when I'm in an awful team and no one seems to be playing the objective or actually getting any decent kills. And the game is over in 5minutes because we are slaughtered. and last I hate being killed by people in ships in GA. its just so annoying to spawn in on hoth or something snd some guy flys down and shoots you instantly and there's nothing you can do to avoid it.

a blockaded entrance way trying to fight an unwinnable fight, instead of finding another way.

Endor in Strike mode comes to mind.

I had some people block entrances when trying to run from a grenade and died. What's odd is i don't usually have this many instances of things like this or people running in from of my gun and standing there like i do in this game. Hardly ever happens in BF1

I was thinking on that line of thought, last night, when I was playing SWBF('15) I wonder if it's due to SWBF2 being so new and people just aren't used to SWBF2 maps/gameplay yet...? (I include myself in that, even though I've logged around 714 hours ...on my main. On my secondary account I've probably played maybe 5 hours.) But then again, it feels like some maps in SWBF2 are just designed to... set you up to be in situations where you're going to see a lot more people, swooping through, or camping in front of your line of fire. Kamino's final phase in GA in particular. There's not a lot of wiggle room if you're spawned onto the right side of the two tubes/halls, with majority of your team held up in there. (It's easy enough to fall back and go into the left tube/hallway, but then you're pretty much on your own, except for maybe one other person, and that really brings down the whole team play feeling. This is exactly the kind of scenario I faced one night while in vocal company with another player... and even after I told him about the left tube/hall being empty, he remained on the right side with majority of the entire team. *double facepalm*)
